Amok was born in Amsterdam and moved to Perth in 2009.
I didn't catch the start of the painting process like with the previous mural of "Add Fuel" that I posted last week, but just caught the middle and end of it!
He painted a banksia a popular Australian wildflower.

On the last day, Sunday 10th, when we went around the University Campus taking photos I saw Amok alight from the cherry-picker (elevated work platform), while the crew were packing up the painting tools and I asked if I could take a photo with him. I also told him I love his works that are spread around Perth and Fremantle and he thanked me. He seemed very shy.

looking GOOD!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue.
DeleteIt´s nice, but it could be more colorful for my liking.
ReplyDeleteGreat you got a pic with the artist again!
And thanks for the link, nice murals there, too.
I also thought that with the grey cement background, specially the greens could have been a bit brighter.
DeleteGreat find Sami, now you need to find Banksy !
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, there are a couple of Banksy's murals around Australia too.
DeleteThat is a fine looking mural, but I did not realize how large it is until I saw your photos of it being painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. Yes, it is a huge area.
DeleteMuito gira a vossa foto juntos! Para mais tarde recordar. :-)
ReplyDeleteO mural é muito bonito. Gosto da cor salmão.

Obrigada Sandra.
DeleteIt is a huge painting, very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne.
DeleteNice mural, interesting wildflower.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Nicol.
DeleteIt is a really nice one! Good pic of you too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, now I have photos with two modern artists, cool.
Deletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit Marsha.
DeleteNice one Sami, I love his work too. I'm always away in Sydney when the artists are busy with Form Public, looking forward to seeing some of the new art around town.
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. Luckily their art will be around for a few years, so plenty of time to see it.
DeleteReally like his style and his name. I'm glad you took his picture. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteThanks ODP. I've been trying to find out what his real name is, but haven't found it anywhere...
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat Banksia is done in a very lovely way!
Sending you hugs from the other end of the world and yes, only 11 more albums to go. So my aim is by the end of April to have it done.
Mariette
Thanks Mariette. A nice way for you to reminisce about travels from long ago. I hardly ever look at our old photo albums, maybe I should do some time- travel to the past...
DeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteSo far it has been a very rich blessing for going back, year by year. Very rewarding and it brings so much joy.
Reliving wonderful moments in life is precious.
Today I have not done any scanning though, was over four hours gone, traveling one hour away to see my nephrologist... Have to catch up on it!
Hugs,
Mariette
You are right Mariette, relieving the good moments is good for us!
DeleteHope all is well with you.
Haha Sami, you had me laugh here! A funny word game for immigrants. 'Relieving' the good moments must mean literally to dispose of a delicious meal... R-e-l-i-v-i-n-g means to experience again as an emotion. In three weeks I will know more about me being well. Yesterday I got quite a shock as my nephrologist told me both my kidneys are working for 49% that means I'm in stage 3A of Chronic Kidney Disease. Nothing to applaud...
DeleteHugs and blessings,
Mariette
LOL, a big mistake! That certainly must have been a shock Mariette. Hope you have a good Doctor who'll help you get back on track if possible.
DeleteBUT, your English is a lot better in general than from some native born English speaking... I for sure am willing to live as healthy as possible for reversing (IF possible) or keeping the level as it is and not worsening it. On May 11, I will learn more.
DeleteMeanwhile, I will continue scanning my final photo albums. That done will also be better as I can get outdoors again! Hugs to you and stay well - it is our most valuable possession; good health!
Mariette
